I had a version of the following code that had to be run on multiple users' Windows computers and be logged in with their Google accounts while performing the actions. Therefore, I chose to directly use the default Chrome profile and this had worked for a while to address that step of the process.
chrome_options = Options()
user_data_dir = os.path.expanduser("~\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data").replace("\\","/")
chrome_options.add_argument(f"--user-data-dir={user_data_dir}")
chrome_options.add_argument("--profile-directory=Default")
chrome_options.add_argument("--remote-debugging-pipe")
chrome_options.add_argument("--enable-logging")
chrome_options.add_argument("--log-level=0")
service = Service(executable_path="chromedriver.exe")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=service, options=chrome_options)
driver.get('')
I have recently updated my ChromeDriver from 131 to 133 as my Chrome was running on 133. I was already getting the first 4-5 of the following error messages from ChromeDriver before the update but it was able to initialize the driver and perform my inputs even though my ChromeDriver and Chrome versions weren't matching. Now, when running the same code I get the Chrome window for a while with the profile but any actions afterwards are not being performed.

I have tried going back to the older ChromeDriver version again to see if it would work again but it tells me now that it only works with Chrome version 131. I have also tried to update to a marginally newer version of ChromeDriver but that also didn't work.
I also tried to copy the user data folder to a new location and rename the default folder to Profile 1 and use it that way but that also gave the same end result.
